I've had a huge turn around on your channel back when I was younger I used to accept any bs Hasbro put out and found your reviews too harsh, now you're my favorite action figure channel
The upcoming Spider-Verse wave is bewildering with the various torso articulation setups. Miles has a chest crunch and an abdomen ball joint while Peter has the reverse.
One thing I dig about Anthony's reviews is talking about proportions and how musculature should look, overall. Might be fun to have a video comparing a few figures with different builds where they made really good decisions... versus some really bad ones. And, if there are any human analogs to compare those to. The headsculpt here is great and that paint! WOW!
A history of ML Wolverine figures would be cool. I can’t get over no boot swivel. Hasbro has been doing it more often lately and it’s likely a way to cut costs. No excuses for something that should come with every figure with boots.
doesn’t even make sense they have to pay for the plastic to key in the solid plastic of the boot into the solid plastic of the calf, which would literally cost the exact same as having a peg into the calf seeing as it’s the same amount of plastic
Hey, Anthony! I'm a relatively new collector and i stumbled upon your channel last year. I love your reviews and would like to say thank you! Your articulation explanation videos helped a lot with future plans on making my own blank bodies. Cant wait to see rival collectibles be produced 😎
His boots are keyed in so they can’t swivel unfortunately. But I’ve seen people cut the little piece holding it in and getting a swivel with a few mods!
@SpicyPsyDuck A human can't rotate their thigh either, technically, since there's no joint there either. Hips and knees on figs don't move the same way humans do, so the thigh swivel and boot swivel in combo give a much more realistic overall rotation capability to the legs for serious posing, which some people enjoy. Want to see what terrible lower-body articulation looks like? Pick up a few McFarlane figs, where the hips barely rotate, no thigh cut or boit cut, etc. Anything but vanilla statue posing is damn near impossible with those. Also, boot cut has been an almost universal norm with ML figs for a long time.
@@SpicyPsyDuck Because the ankle pivot is off-set, having the boot swivel would help and wouldn't damage the aesthetic since it is an actual boot. The blue patterns on the suit break if you just twist the thigh, the boot swivel would be more useful in this case.
@@jimwheeler9840 Or they could just use ball joints for ankles and use a internal thigh rotation like Mafex or SHF and instead of those ugly cuts. It is only necessary to compensate their outdated designs.
you’re genuinely the only reviewer I trust. it seems like every other reviewer chalks it up to “i like this character and this costume so it’s a great figure,” whereas you actually observe and comment on every single detail and feature. also, i’d love a video of every ML wolverine!
I'd watch the Wolvie comparison. The neck joint bothers me more than the lack of boot swivel, keeps us from doing some pretty classic Logan poses. So it goes. Still, very happy to have this figure and cannot wait for the rest of the Astonishing X-Men team. Solid as always, thanks! 👍
Was about to pass on this release, then I saw it irl and I like it. Haven't got it yet but I definitely will. Are you gonna review Skaar, Anthony? He looks like a great figure too.
I missed out on the X-Men '97 Wolverine figure, so I put the pre-order in for this guy, and when the reviews started rollin out quick for him, I'm glad I put the money out for him when I did. He looks great with my X-Men figures lineup, which honestly mostly consists of the '97 figures (Magneto, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, and Gambit), Hot Claws Wolverine, Toad, and Nightcrawler (Wendigo BAF line). I'm definitely in need of some others, but it's a nice lineup so far, and he's definitely without a doubt the cherry on top.
Anthony, I think it’s be a great idea to do an updated best of Marvel Legends Wolverine figure list. A way to change it up also might be great hear you thoughts on designing a Wolverine figure. Like Marvel comes to you asks you to make them the best Wolverine figure. What do you do? What do you change? What do you keep? What does Anthony’s Wolverine figure look like? That be cool to hear.
The pin on the first claw on the left hand on my copy is a tad loose and comes out slightly, which results in the claw twisting. Pushing it back in usually straightens it out. My biggest problem is I had some pretty bad paint rub on the inside of the biceps where they come into contact with the blue paint. A lot of paint rubbed off onto the arms.
My claws on the left fell off right out of the box. The right claws were loose. I put dabs of glue on them for fear of them falling and getting lost. Might buy some metal ones from Can O Beams and glue them down
My action figure has no issues in right claws. They are perfect. Also one thing I noticed is that blue paint from ribs area chips on to his inner biceps. So be careful about that. Overall awesome figure though. My favourite Wolverine from Marvel Legends.
Spiral, She-Hulk, Blob, Black Widow, this Wolverine. I am cautiously optimistic that Hasbro is getting the message. The figures named check near all the boxes for me. Once you get it crouched and posed, I was surprised but I think Toad is pretty great too.
I could be wrong but I think they got the suit design wrong. I believe this suit on the sides it is supposed to have 3 separate stripes but on this figure they kinda mashed them together kinda like how the animated series suit looks
Watching on iPhone. Audio is good. Video is good. Honestly the setup is a little darker than it used to be, but I prefer it. I get using super bright lights to catch every detail for a review, just not a fan as its not how the figure would normally be seen? Not sure how to explain that intelligently or without sounding like complaining tbh. Dont mean it to be. And hell yes on the Wolverine action figure evolution.
Thanks for the input. I actually have more lights now but that doesn't mean the video is brighter. I have to adjust the camera settings for each review to get the right visibility. Some plastics and colors react differently so I can't just set the right exposer for everything...But others have said it's too bright in this video...so I think it comes down to the end users' device.
I think the neck joint thing might be because the torsos are made of abs plastic, and doing the ballpeg directly on the edge makes it more likely to break, so they move the joint inwards. I have a wrestling figure that does have the joint higher and it did begin cracking right at the edge of the neck where the ball connects. All other instances of a double ball neck I've seen, that have the ball at the edge, have a pvc neck, which bends so its far more durable. That's my theory on why hasbro does that deep neck joint. The best way to fix it would be to just make the neck a separate pvc piece all the time.
Your videos look and sounds good to me Anthony. Thanks for your review on this product. Consensus seems to believe this to be the best Wolverine ML has produced. With the limitations in the torso prohibiting movement such as those Wolverine performs is rather disappointing. I'd love to see your Wolverine collection - that is if you don't have to make a mess in the basement locating them all.
Great review brother.. hopefully you'll make some more custom Marvel Legends Wolverine heads .. especially the one with the cigar..they would probably sell out withall the Marvel Legends Wolverines being released lately Anyways looking forward to more of your Marvel Legends reviews 👑
fr tho, i started buying shf last year and oh my god idk how i lived with how little accessories hasbro normally provides, plus the smooth articulation and figures that don't feel like gum. and then i lucked out on mafex's comic spidey and 💦💦💦 i still do love renew your vows and amazing fantasy but boy it's like night and day, i understand why anthony has different ratings for different lines because the best of ml doesn't even compare
I was hoping they update the torso for the new brown suit wolverine so I can stop looking for mafex version. but sadly it’s the same old minus the pins
They should just copy mezcos Ball peg on the head as it’s the best so far for movement as they use two big balls (not deep into the peg hole ) and thin short peg works like magic
I’ll probably get him even though my Mafex re-issue wolverine with custom claws is all I really need for Wolverines… But he looks cool enough hopefully, they redo this guy and brown suit or tiger stripe
Looks good for Marvel Legends (though the massive arms also look too long), but I still prefer Jada's Street Fighter figs; better articulation and they add some shading to their figures.
The lack of boot swivel on this figure makes it extremely hard to get any dymanic poses while standing. Hasbro got close with this one but if you like actually posing your figures it's something to keep in mind
Anthony, sorry to say, but you missed out on not getting the Mafex x-force wolverine and deadpool figures my man! They are so good! I really love the way they sculpted them to look like they are actually wearing some thicker clothing with more protection and wrinkles (especially on wolverine it looks nice), instead of the regular spandex that all super heroes usually wear I suppose, even if the spandex shows off their muscles more. So I get it, you gotta look sexy while you're fighting crime most of the time. But for the underground stuff that x-force gets up to, it makes sense that they don't have to look quite as sexy. I don't know, maybe it is not totally comic accurate? but it depends on which x-force comics being referenced. I think it's cool and different to see some superheroes with actual clothing on for once but maybe I am just a weirdo. And the articulation and faces and everything are very nice. Accessories are pretty good, but they didn't give deadpool any guns soooo, I guess he was just going totally ninja that day. I am very jealous of your mafex Gambit though, boy I wish a had a good Gambit... Anyways, love your reviews, and I have been excited for this Wolverine figure ever since I saw the pics for it. Have a good one!
Hey Anthony, maybe you can answer this in another video or something but I've heard that the reason that the neck pegs are seated so far down in Legends is that when marketed and sold as a "toy" which they are, they need to meet specific safety standards that require the peg to be anchored so far down do to choking hazard restrictions whereas a "collectible" doesn't require the same restrictions so they are permitted to have the peg seated higher up, allowing for better range. Any truth to this as you understand it? Not trying to defend the massive multi-national conglomerate, just some food for thought.
I haven't been able to find anything to support that but i don't have access to everything since you have to pay for some of the info... But all the info i do have access to (that I've seen anyway) says that's not the case. If you'll notice, almost every collectible from hasbro or otherwise has a choking hazard warning on it. Hasbro hasnt avoided anything other than good design as far as i can tell
@@AnthonysCustoms I have a black series luke and the double ball peg there is pretty good, not seated low or anything, i think its just the marvel team being incompetent.
The scale, neck joint and lack of boot swivel( despite the boots being separate) is a big annoyance for me, much like the scale on the warbird figure. Even though I have neither as not coming out until Septemberish in uk.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a marvel legends that Anthony was kinder too compared to the rest of the community. I’ve seen nothing but complaints about this guy online.
4:38 Wolverine looks like he double punched an ant colony, and just allowed them to attack his arms. A little bit of some mild self-destructive behavior. He didn't want to have to wait for his skin to grow back, so a couple thousand ant bites will do for now.
Quick question I can't wrap my head around. The yellow looks a bit cheap. I donno how to describe it. Objectively it is a good match to the source material, but for some reason, it looks plasticy and less collectible. Is it because it's shiny instead of more matte like the blue? Or because they used a more translucent plastic (especially for the torso)? Or maybe im just crazy and it looks fine irl.
I feel like this is the only character that I can accept the reverse ab crunch as his torso is small enough it doesn’t look odd in the posing. He should have had a better ball hinge in the neck and boot cut. I don’t get why he doesn’t from what I’ve seen it used more plastic to keep them attached than it would to just use a normal swivel. The paint rub on the underside of his shoulders drive me nuts though. Any tips on how to remove that issue?
My only real BEEF is the yellow rectangles on the boots and gloves. I dont remember Astonishing Wolverine ever having those, but overall, not the worst thing. 8/10
Would love to see you do a full ML Wolverine evolution comparison. Seeing your thoughts kn multiple ML over the years would be awesome.
Same, want to see how all the various Tiger Stripes releases fall relative to each other in such a video.
I've had a huge turn around on your channel back when I was younger I used to accept any bs Hasbro put out and found your reviews too harsh, now you're my favorite action figure channel
Welcome back! Glad you like the content.
The upcoming Spider-Verse wave is bewildering with the various torso articulation setups. Miles has a chest crunch and an abdomen ball joint while Peter has the reverse.
Hopefully they start upgrading their figures with decent articulation.
One thing I dig about Anthony's reviews is talking about proportions and how musculature should look, overall. Might be fun to have a video comparing a few figures with different builds where they made really good decisions... versus some really bad ones. And, if there are any human analogs to compare those to. The headsculpt here is great and that paint! WOW!
A history of ML Wolverine figures would be cool.
I can’t get over no boot swivel. Hasbro has been doing it more often lately and it’s likely a way to cut costs. No excuses for something that should come with every figure with boots.

Thumbs up for the Wolverine comparative collection video.

Why do you even need a boot swivel when you have thigh swivel tho, human can't rotate their shin.
@SpicyPsyDuck A human can't rotate their thigh either, technically, since there's no joint there either. Hips and knees on figs don't move the same way humans do, so the thigh swivel and boot swivel in combo give a much more realistic overall rotation capability to the legs for serious posing, which some people enjoy. Want to see what terrible lower-body articulation looks like? Pick up a few McFarlane figs, where the hips barely rotate, no thigh cut or boit cut, etc. Anything but vanilla statue posing is damn near impossible with those. Also, boot cut has been an almost universal norm with ML figs for a long time.
@@SpicyPsyDuck Because the ankle pivot is off-set, having the boot swivel would help and wouldn't damage the aesthetic since it is an actual boot.
The blue patterns on the suit break if you just twist the thigh, the boot swivel would be more useful in this case.
@@jimwheeler9840 Or they could just use ball joints for ankles and use a internal thigh rotation like Mafex or SHF and instead of those ugly cuts. It is only necessary to compensate their outdated designs.
@@nhyar Maybe they can stop using those lazy thigh cut and make thighs that can rotate at the hip.

My only issue is he didn’t come with a pulled-down cowl piece. But it’s a easily the best Wolverine figure I’ve seen.

Yes
Even though I’m not the biggest fan of Marvel Legends, I do like that they consistently get Wolverine’s height right, as he’s a shorter, stockier guy
I missed out on the X-Men '97 Wolverine figure, so I put the pre-order in for this guy, and when the reviews started rollin out quick for him, I'm glad I put the money out for him when I did.

Going to compare older Wolverine figures with the newest one would be cool, I like that idea.
Logan had a serious discussion of gorilla arms. I do dig this figure though.
Yes would love to see all wolverines
Yes all the wolverine
This is my favorite wolverine suit, but I wish he had a masked neutral head
"Thigh swivel's gonna thigh swivel." 😆
I'd really like a Marvel Legends Wolverine comparisons please.
Would freaking love a wolverine comparison video he is my favorite fictional character
As far as this Astonishing Wolverine sculpt..IMO they will probably go back to the X Men 97 Wolverine sculpt for the upcoming Brown Suit Wolverine
I think the sound and lighting look good, I have no complaint here.
I got it on mine on Monday and so far my favorite comic Wolverine. X-men 97 is my favorite animated. Hoping that the hugh yellow suit be a good figure
Was looking forward to seeing you review this one, had a feeling you'd like it. Pre-ordered mine today, excited to get him!
It looks a lot like the stylized wolverine from Wolverine and the X-men cartoon
Very big arms small legs
Never saw a wolverine figure ive actually thought was good enough, this one finally breaks the mold for me.

I want that Wolverine figure so much
Would love to see a history of Marvel Legends Wolverine figures!!!
I preordered mine from EE and I can’t wait for it
Please do a video on all the Marvel Legends Wolverine figures you have Anthony 🙏🏻
I did him for my news and I said he is very accurate because he is a short Canadian king
Great review as always.
Was hyped for this figure till I figured out it doesnt have boot swivel

You know what you’re right the legs are too thin not that thin but that’s why it looked so weird to me just a tad bit bigger and it’s perfect
Mhm. Needs some meat on the thighs
Yes please on updating your Every ML Comic Wolverine video!
I know I’m a month late but a Hasbro Wolverine comparison video would be rad.
We need a wolverine party
Looks like a good figure, but I have all the blue and yellow Wolverines I'm ever going to need.
The claws specifically on the right hand in mine too are a little warped. Tried using heat gun to fix it but it made no difference.
I was hoping they update the torso for the new brown suit wolverine so I can stop looking for mafex version. but sadly it’s the same old minus the pins
Do a video of all the Wolverine Legends please
I like this one aside from the neck and torso joints. Maybe one day they’ll figure out how to do basic articulation.
I always make my own metal claws
They should just copy mezcos Ball peg on the head as it’s the best so far for movement as they use two big balls (not deep into the peg hole ) and thin short peg works like magic

I’ll probably get him even though my Mafex re-issue wolverine with custom claws is all I really need for Wolverines…

I wish the Mafex was thicker. Main issue for me

As for the Hasbro ball peg choking hazard argument, Jada and NECA use ball pegs just fine.
Hey Anthony, maybe you can answer this in another video or something but I've heard that the reason that the neck pegs are seated so far down in Legends is that when marketed and sold as a "toy" which they are, they need to meet specific safety standards that require the peg to be anchored so far down do to choking hazard restrictions whereas a "collectible" doesn't require the same restrictions so they are permitted to have the peg seated higher up, allowing for better range.

Or because they used a more translucent plastic (especially for the torso)? Or maybe im just crazy and it looks fine irl.
maybe a wash would help making the yellow a bit less see trough
It's because it's bare plastic. Paint would look much nicer
It’s the lack of shading. bright saturated figures like this really need shading to not look cheap
Finally they do a double ball peg neck, but still not good enough. Really don’t like the hinge they usually use.
I wonder if they will create a New Avengers Wolverine now that they have this body.
What a coincidence, mine arrived today.
Mine should be arriving today too :D
I pre-ordered mine from BBTS. I’m not sure when it’ll ship.
I feel like this is the only character that I can accept the reverse ab crunch as his torso is small enough it doesn’t look odd in the posing.

@capybara455 that makes sense!
